Going low after a high.

Man does it stink. I had like a 3-4 day hypomania...felt so cool. I got so much stuff done. Today I got home and I was like....wasted. Exhausted and totally useless. Simpliest task was like....impossible. Man I can hardly type I'm so gone. Guess early to bed.

Dear Berry2000


This sounds to me like it could be one of two things.


1. You found some outstanding illegal drug!!!


OR


2. You are not regulated with the right meds yet. Legal meds.


I think you need to sit on your doctors doorstep until he gets things right.


Mania like in the ole days of GREAT HIGHS are a very DANGEROUS thing as we are ADDICTED to them.


BUT


The more we do it the easier it is for the brain to do it next time.


HEY, I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING!!! MAYBE WE GOT A DRUG PUSHER IN THE BRAIN??? IF SO THEY NEED TO BE ARRESTED!!!


LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN WE REMEMBER:




X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O

Hopefully you can get more evened out. Until then may your hypos be pleasant and your landings be soft. Depakote is keeping me in the valley. I know what it feels like.

I pray that the Lord will renew you and refresh you during this time. It is not a good thing to go up and down without seeing your doctor or taking the right medications. God knows I made that mistake and almost was committed for a very very very long time. Episodes just lasted a couple of days, but treatment lasted more than 5 mos.

Lord I ask that you will give your child clarity of mind and protect them as they go through this imbalance.

The sad thing is I think the meds are working. This is the best I have ever been. Whereas I do feel the swings...and it does effect me...no one else except hubby really notices and it doesn't impaire my functioning until the end of the day. Yeah I'm slowed...but I'm not stopped. And I know what stopped looks like.

I think this is as good as it gets for me...and I"m going to have to learn to live with these swings.

Want to be, You know your own body best, and you may be right that this is as good as it will get, but please include your hubby and your doctor in this decision and don't just accept this "because it is better than I was" Some of us (and I asked my doc this just last week) need to adjust or meds up and down with the seasons or with stress in our lives. Just some food for thought! Hugs!

Blessings and Prayers as always!!!

Thanks alive again. I know what you are saying...and it is good advice. I guess I just get scared that whenever I say things aren't perfect they just increase the dose or add more meds...and that can get out of control. Plus then I'm dealing possible new side effects, and drowsiness and all that. But I am considering and will include doc and therapist and hubby...in helping me decided.
